Climbed in extreme weather conditions with my father and a friend of mine from Vent in one day. We started our juorney at 3:30am and got back to Breslauer Hütte at about 2pm and to Vent at 4pm. It was a 12,5 hour tour, our second glacier tour. We drank some bier at Breslauer Hütte, a beautiful hungarian girl is working there...:)
The weather was absolutelly bad..."Fucking wind..." as an american said...and fog and cold and many snow all the way...despite all this there where many who climbed it that day. Polish, german, austrian, hungarian, ect.
Wonderful view north from Mitterkarjoch! Great and tiring climb on a magnificent mountain!!!

We had to turn back from the top of Mitterkarjoch on the first attempt due to heavy snowfall and strong winds. Spent an extra day at Breslauer Hütte waiting for the weather to improve, practicing various rope, rescue and belay techniques on a nearby slope and playing tons of poker - we had the hut all to ourselves. On the third day we set out early, crossed the Mitterkarjoch in waist-deep snow, 'hugging' the rocks on the left and then descending onto the glacier. Over the course of the day three of the four of us had at one time or other broken through snow bridges, luckily only ankle or knee deep. As the weather window we had was quite narrow, we had no time to traverse to the North summit. We made it back over the Mitterkarjoch just as the snow started falling again. A few days later we heard several people had been killed in avalanches in nearby valleys the same day :(
